1881 Shipwreck Found Intact in Lake Michigan: A Remarkable Discovery

Shipwreck hunters have discovered the remarkably intact wreckage of the schooner Trinidad, which sank in Lake Michigan in 1881. The ship was part of the lucrative grain trade on the Great Lakes and was poorly maintained by its owners. The wreckage, found 10 miles off the shoreline of Algoma, Wisconsin, includes the deckhouse with cabinets full of dishes and the crew's personal belongings, making it a time capsule. The hunters hope to have the wreck added to the National Register of Historic Places and make its location accessible to the public.
